The food and wine festivals are still a bit far away, but as is always the case in South Florida, a food-related event is probably taking place somewhere. Next Wednesday, foodies may wish to set aside some time to visit E.A.T! which stands for “Edible, Artisanal, and Tasteful".

E.A.T! is unique in that it encompasses much more than what’s typically offered at a food and drink festival. Attendees will be able to sample an unlimited number of bites from more than forty restaurants in an air-conditioned setting. Two chefs will duke it out in a competition to become the 2016 E.A.T! Champion. Some of the restaurants that will be participating include Thirteen Restaurant & Bar and Tee Jay Thai Sushi which are based in Wilton Manors, Miami’s Chicks N Wings and Donut Divas, Brazaviva Brazilian Steakhouse in Doral, and many more.

Any food that remains once E.A.T! Is over will be donated to LifeNet4Families, an institution dedicated to feeding Broward County’s hungry and homeless.

E.A.T! tickets cost $35 for general admission or $65 at the door. The event is taking place at the BB&T Center in Sunrise.

A Nice Catch!

About Me

I started out fishing at the age of seven with my father and brother, both on fishing piers and on drift-fishing boats here in Miami, Florida. I started working on the all-day drift-fishing boats as a deckhand, and then I was promoted to first mate on the weekends at the age of thirteen. By that time I had experienced catching just about everything that swims and bites.
I continued working every weekend, holiday and summer, learning more about the art and skill of fishing these Florida waters, I knew that I was on my way to an exciting career and someday would be a captain of my own fleet of charter boats. After college I started working full time on the first “THERAPY” and built my first charter fishing boat in 1976. In 2010, my fourth boat THERAPY-IV was completed. It is the most amazing fishing boat that anyone could ever think of building.
The THERAPY-IV is the ultimate in luxury for deep sea fishing and a one of a kind experience for those looking to catch big fish off the coast of Miami in the deep sea fishing spots we know best or at some great spots around Biscayne Bay.
Let’s go fishing!!! The next big monster is out there waiting for you.
